"Our culture has created high rates of alchohol abuse and food abuse problems in this state. Approximately 8 TIMES as many people die each year in this state from food abuse/addictions (obesity, heart disease, anorexia/bolemia, etc.) than from alchohol abuse/addictions. Should we limit the access of food or ban its sale on Sundays? Or should we work to create good eating and exercise habits? We do not work to create a culture that promotes healthy drinking habits (those who drink in healthy moderation live longer and healthier lives than those who do not drink at all), quite the contrary we more often than not say that alchohol is bad and focus on trying to limit accessibility, etc. Should suprise no one that when people then do drink, there is a much higher tendency to then not drink in a heathy manner and abuse it instead. Alchohol abuse can lead to alchohol addiction. Our current attitudes, culture, societal norms and habits have more to do with our high rates of alchohol abuse/alchoholism and obesity/food related problems/deaths than does the food or drink itself. Banning alchohol and having fights about limiting its sale sends the wrong message for it only acts to reinforce the bad attitudes, thoughts, and results, about alchohol instead of what imo we should be doing which is promote good, healthy, habits and norms for how, how much, and when to drink (and eat, and exercise, etc.). The healthy habits and messages are being drowned out by the bad. And we wonder why we have the bad results we do?"
